Leveraging advanced AI technology, Forecast Scoring provides deep insights into your opportunities, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and actionable steps to boost your closing rates.
Workflow and Benefits
Our AI-driven workflow is meticulously designed to enhance every stage of your sales process, ensuring you have the critical information needed to make informed decisions and drive better business outcomes. Here’s how Forecast Scoring works:
Data Collection and Preparation
We begin by gathering all forecasted deals for the current quarter from your CRM system. Ensuring data accuracy and completeness, we rectify inconsistencies, remove duplicates, and fill in missing information. By standardizing deal notes, we maintain consistency across the team, providing a robust foundation for analysis.
Leveraging General AI Platforms
Using advanced AI platforms like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google Cloud’s Natural Language API, and Amazon Comprehend, we extract and analyze relevant information from your deal notes. If detailed notes are lacking, our AI-powered notetakers like Otter.ai or Fireflies.ai automatically capture and transcribe conversations, providing rich data for analysis. We train your team on best practices for using these tools, ensuring comprehensive and accurate records.
AI Analysis
Our general AI tools utilize natural language processing (NLP) to automatically analyze the data, generating valuable insights. This includes calculating deal scores, identifying reasons for closing or not closing, assessing decision-maker engagement, and suggesting necessary actions to improve closing chances. By configuring real-time analysis, we provide up-to-date insights as new data is entered into your CRM.
Key Deliverables
Forecast Scoring delivers detailed reports for each forecasted deal, including AI-generated insights and recommendations. We also provide a comprehensive CRM audit report, a quarterly forecast summary highlighting key trends and challenges, and a delta analysis slide to visualize the gap between forecasted and actual deal progress.
